ffmpeg on Windows XP.
Hi, I have some very basic questions as I'm new to ffmpeg: 1. I'm on the Windows XP platform, have people experienced any problems with ffmpeg on this platform? 2. I'm using Ruby on Rails to develop my web application. I'm hoping to fork off ffmpeg processes to automatically convert video files as they get uploaded. Is this a problem and has anybody tried it? 3. Are there any good installation websites for installing on Windows XP? 4. My goal is to convert the most common video formats to .flv and .swf so that I can support Flash progressive downloads by the Flash player. Is this possible after just doing the conversions or do I need anything else? Basically my web server would serve the .swf file in the HTML. Thanks a lot for any help you can provide.
Hi, I'm using XP with Mingw/Visual studio 2005 to compile ffmpeg. There is a lot of problems with it, especially at run-time. Some codecs (such as H263) cannot be loaded. I'm looking for experienced Windows users too, just to know if this project can really work under Windows. Damien

I use Cygwin (mainly because I needed socket support) and ffmpeg has been rock solid using a wide range of codecs. The only library I couldn't build in Cygwin so far was x264, but I didn't try real hard to track down the compile errors. damd at free.fr wrote:
